Red Riding Hood Deluxe Plus Adult

This lady-like outfit includes a hooded burgundy cape, as well as a long-sleeved one-piece dress that features a Black skirt, White blouse with ruffled cuffs, Black-on-Red floral bodice, and White apron with ruffle trim. Black fishnet pantyhose sold separately. Shoes not included. Costume may vary slightly from shown. For example, the cape may have a velcro close, rather than a tie close and corset style may vary.
Customer Review: Cute but poor quality
This costume is really cute, fits well, and looks good from a distance but the quatity of fabric used is terrible. The cape comes unfinished... the edges aren't serged or anything so the fabric will fray quickly and the skirt part is made from see-through wind breaker type fabric, which is completely inappropriate for a skirt. The top part of the costume isn't bad. In order to make the costume wearable I've made a new skirt out of better fabric ($1.49 per metre) using the original skirt as a pattern and finished the edges all around the cape and added a tie (because there wasn't one before). So after about 3 hours of sewing and $4 in new fabric the costume is a million times better.


Everyone loves to dress up. Whether it be for a party, a school production or indeed to celebrate a special date such a Halloween or Christmas.

Fancy dress parties really are alive and kicking in the UK and all across Europe. Adults just love to dress up as Bunny Rabbits, Gorillas, or indeed take the opportunity to be a cow boy or cow girl for the day. Fancy dress costumes can be hard to get hold of. Although you can find the odd retail shop dotted around, by far the best place to get hold of fancy dress costumes is an online store. Many people want to 'try before they buy', but product selection and design improvements have helped online retailers overcome this with 'one size' costumes which generally fit well between sizes ten and 14 for ladies.

Many party goers like to go dressed in complementary costumes, which really adds to the fun. An Indian man looks much more the part with his apache wife on his arm!

Festivals and holidays also provide a great opportunity to dress up. Bunny Rabbits abound at Easter, all manner of things abound at Halloween and course lets not forget dear old Santa.
School productions can be both fun and inspiring for adults and children alike. Many costumes now come well within a parent's budget. Take for instance this Child Goddess Costume selling online for well under ten pounds. Some school productions in particular prefer to make their own costumes since it adds to the original nature of the performance. One way of making a costume look really professional is too purchase a rubber mask. These masks come in all shapes and sizes these days and can be a handy addition to any costume or indeed used in isolation.
